st: Identifying unique values with codebook

I stumped into a problem when identifying unique values of a numeric
variable using "codebook": if the values are large they will be
identified as the same value.
For instance I have a variable x with the following values:
0, 1, 2, ... 10 (that is 10 different values)
codebook x
reports "unique values: 10"
Now do
gen y = 100000000000000000 + x
codebook y
reports "unique values = 1"
Is this a feature?
